of the products they consume, whether they were tested on animals, or what the
lives of the producers were like, i.e. their wages and treatment. Peace studies

History
of the World Peace Project for Children
The World Peace Project For
Children (WPPC) was founded in 1997 and is based in the Puget Sound area. WPPC
is a non-profit organization dedicated to peace education for children. Through
unique educational programs and projects such as hands on peace activities including
art, music, education, and volunteerism, children have the opportunity to learn
and grow. The children develop critical thinking skills on the issues of peace
and conflict resolution through participation in discussion groups on these issues,
creating their own writings and projects about peace. They gain awareness of these
important issues at an early age. Early education in learning about peace builds
positive leadership in the community and strong global citizenship for today's
children and their future.
The
"Only Hearts" Peace Project is an educational, empowering and
fun-filled activity that can easily be downloaded from this web page (below) for
use in classrooms, after-school programs, and in homes.
